you ARE your voice

“We express our deepest emotions, our passionate views, and all the nuances of communication through the voice.” Nancy Krebs.

While our voices are precious, working on them can be playful and creative. This is where my work sits. When we feel safe enough to explore our voices with fun and humour and curiosity, and with less judgement and more compassion, we unleash something truly beautiful, honest and powerful.

My voice is my greatest ally. She is my my caregiver, my justice warrior, my advocate,  my educator, my truth teller, defender and peacekeeper. My voice is a rare bird, deserving great respect and careful attention. 

The goal is to have a voice that is flexible enough voice to support our intentions. Recognizing our vocal patterns or “default” voices is the first step in deconstructing limiting beliefs about our voices. From here we can begin to return to the abundant voices we were born with.

This doesn't mean we need to have a voice that projects to the far recesses of the room, although sometimes that is necessary, it is about having a voice that reflects what I need to say with truth and compassion when I need to say it.

Using my knowledge of the Autonomic Nervous System and the Vagus Nerve, we work to understand reflexive vocal patterns and intentional shifts we can make to support our  intention. 

When we change our thoughts, our voices follow and we need range to support that. Voices need expansion and relaxation within their container and they actually LOVE attention, even if it's only ours!

My work as a voice coach is shaped by many modalities and practitioners, from neuroscience to sports. My continuous study and curiosity in anthropology, physiology, psychology, vocal anatomy and mindfulness enable me to support you in arriving at a potentially life changing awareness and experience.
